Abstract

<jats:p>All non‐relational views of perceptual experience face Jackson's famous many‐property problem. I argue that the original problem, and the existing responses to it, have focused too closely on the controversial terminology for which adverbialism is best known. We can also direct Jackson's many‐property problem explicitly onto the adverbialist's metaphysics, generating a new challenge. The responses contemporary adverbialists and non‐relationalists have made to the original objection are not successful against this challenge. We need a new non‐relational account. I sketch an outline of a new theory, and motivate the view by explaining how it can respond successfully to this additional challenge.</jats:p>
